Last September, Keir Starmer told the Commons that he had โ€œfull confidenceโ€ in Peter Mandelson.ย 

Well, the public has no confidence in him.

He must resign.

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen.

The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare.

Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

#OTD in 1966, my father reflected on the nature of humanity in his sermon โ€œWho Are We.โ€ He rejected both despair and false perfection, reminding us that while we are flawed, we are also capable of profound love. We are complex and must have faith in our shared future.

How about this tweak in Ireland's planning laws? Developer promises creche, cafe & shop as part of big housing plan?

Fantastic - but you HAVE to build those, first.

One way to stop the laughably obvious bait & switch tactics that somehow bamboozle our councils every time.

Recent flooding events have caused pain & loss to people across Ireland. Those living in flood risk areas deserve an effective response from the State. This must include nature-based solutions - they are low cost, long-lasting, effective & help us with nature + climate targets. shorturl.at/fsa5L

The Prime Minister said that he had โ€œfull confidenceโ€ in Peter Mandelson - a man who was besties with a convicted nonce.

Keir Starmer should resign.

I'm totally pinching myself announcing this, but a film about my life journey rewilding a West Cork farm, An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, will get its first screening at the Dublin International Film Festival on Saturday the 28th of this month.

Tickets are available here:

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.

This is what economic justice looks like.

And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza.

The genocide never ended โ€” and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Earth's Greatest Enemy A documentary exposรฉ of the world's biggest (and most unaccountable) polluter: the US military. Learn the environmental cost of history's biggest empire with Abby Martin.

Saw this heroic film by Abbey Martin last night in its Chicago debut - a must see film as a primer for radical politics - human being the new radical .

Free Public Transport for everybody would boost the economy raise tax revenue and save money.

Unfortunately there would be no profit for greedy billionaires.

So you can't have it.

Europe should have thrown the USA in the bin decades ago, now they make the choice for us.

Let the USA sink, soon it will collapse and we can deal with whatever comes out of the swamp.

What ceasefire? These horrific numbers show Israel's genocide in Gaza isnโ€™t over, despite Donald Trump announcing phase two of his so-called โ€˜peace deal.โ€™
